What advice would you give someone starting this project?Jump in! I would rate this as a advanced beginner crocheter. A sewing machine is optional but preferable for doing up the side seems and hems. Straight, simple sewing. The crochet bodice is hand sewn on with a simple stitch. One yard of fabric is plenty for the skirt portion with ample left over for another project!
Sizes given in the pattern for the bodice portion are for 6 months, 12 months and 18 months. The model in the photo is wearing size 6 months.
Add beaded or pom pom fringe under the bodice or at the hem to take it over the top!
Color photos included! One on a model and two with the beaded fringe attached!

I love that little dress. I have that material and i would love to make that for my g'grand daughter Ruby . very sweet. Ruby is 8 mos old
